Something I’ve never done but might go back and complete is the the actual rankings of Listening Post and Reflecting Pool records in order of grades.
I’ll start with the latest Listening Post for Devo.
Freedom of Choice: A+ (100)
Q: Are We Not Men A: We Are Devo: A+ (99)

Oh, No! It’s Devo; B- (81)
